The carrot is one of the most popular vegetables in the world. It originated in Afghanistan
many thousands of years ago. We can see from ancient Egyptian temple drawings from 2000
BC that people ate the purple variety of carrots in the Middle East. It was the Romans who
introduced white and purple varieties into Europe.
Did you know that the carrot comes in many different colours - white, purple, yellow and even
black? We often associate carrots with the colour orange, but carrots were probably purple
originally. It was the Dutch who produced the orange carrot in the 16th century. Orange was
the colour of the Dutch Royal House of Orange and it was the colour associated with Dutch
independence. It is the orange variety of carrots that is mostly eaten in Europe today. The
orange carrot is one of the most important vegetables in Western cuisine, appearing in salads,
soups, roast dinners and even cake.
My favourite carrot dish is orange and carrot soup. It is very simple – a little olive oil,
vegetable stock, a glass of orange juice and, of course, orange carrots. It doesn't take much
time to cook – around 20 minutes. First cook the carrots in the stock and then purée. Taste
before you serve, adding salt, pepper and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
